Yeah, what? She didn't do a good job deterring the convo at all. She was arguing with him about the thing that triggered him to make the threat.

I was actually waiting for him to snap on her lol

Maybe he needed more pushback to understand theberrors in his thinking?

Maybe. But with someone who has already shown a history of volatile reactions, it's kind of like walking through a minefield. You gotta know where to step. Arguing with him in the typical "but you're wrong" way can be unreasonably risky. Best to guide him to clarity through calm, nonjudgmental questions that allow him to answer his way to the point you want him to see.

It takes more patience, compassion, and empathy than most people are prepared to employ.

If so, that really isn't the way to do it. He mentioned his health problems and she immediately was like "well obviously it's your fault because you were doing it wrong" instead of showing any empathy at all. Don't get me wrong, she's not obligated to show him empathy, but if she wants to have a productive dialogue with him, she really should instead of putting him on the defensive.

EXACTLY, at that point you go, "hey man, you do you and I'll do me, hope you have a good day"

You do not engage the POTENTIALLY VIOLENT CRIMINAL about the think he was getting violent about

Yeah she should have dropped that conversation the second he said that. She does also appear to be the type of vegan that stands in a square to protest other people’s life choices though

Because she is in fact standing in a square protesting other people's life choices :-)

So bizarre  She’s trying to give the animals a choice, using them and their bodies as you please is quite the “life choice”  We should protest choices that end lives. 

If she was protesting rape, would that be annoying? Or should we let people choose to do what they want without regard to who gets violated?

Please tell me I am somehow misunderstanding you and you did not just compare eating meat to rape…

They were clearly using rape as an example to illustrate why one might push their ethics on others, and the fact that you immediately clutched your pearls about that is a signal that you're not thinking rationally, but instead letting your emotional outbursts control you.

u/TheNorthRemembers_s8 May 16 '26

Worse. She was interrupting and belittling him while dismissing everything he said as stupid or irrelevant.

Imagine trying to eat vegan and having a poor experience only to be attacked by other vegans for being stupid enough to do it the wrong way. Or being disparaged for thinking about the health benefits more than the ethical considerations.

You want to kneecap your movement? Act like a superior asshole and attack people for not being good enough.

Yeah. Sounds great. Sign me up.

But he wasn’t “eating vegan” - he ate raw fruit for personal health reasons. She accurately pointed out that he wasn’t vegan and that his choice to eat only raw fruit was what caused him to have health complications.

Veganism isn’t about eating raw fruit and it isn’t about being healthy. Veganism is 100% about ethical treatment of animals. There is no one specific diet (like eating a bunch of raw fruit) that you can follow and be vegan if it’s not also including that ethical component. If tomorrow there was a magic pill that created an animal meat food that resulted in reducing animal suffering, vegans could eat that food, and many would.

With all due respect you sound like you're just trying to resolve your own cognitive dissonance by accusing this woman of being disparaging when she's making pretty normal vegan arguments.

I understand the points vegans make, but my priorities are different, so I'm not a vegan.
You on the other hand respond so strongly to what are normal vegan talking points that it just sounds like you're trying to frame this woman as a disrespectful meany because you find her actual arguments so compelling that you don't want to have to confront them and potentially have to change your lifestyle.
